Abstract

Teachers are a busy group. Contrary to the belief of many persons who are not in close contact with a teacher, the school day does not end when the children leave the building. No indeed--there are faculty meetings, committee meetings, P.T.A. meetings, educational association meetings and supervisor meetings to mention but a few of the functions every teacher is expected to attend. In the evening there are papers to grade, lessons to prepare, professional books and articles to read, and numerous records of many varieties to keep. Few teachers enjoy the luxury of an eight hour working day. It is the hope of the writer that this thesis will give some aid to the fourth grade teachers of Louisville, Kentucky. It should help to make the teaching of the geography unit "The Hot-Wet Lands of \he World" more effective.
